When you were a kid, were you ever scolded with the words, “It’s not polite to stare.”? Obviously, staring at someone, for whatever reason, would make that person very uncomfortable, and, therefore, would be considered rude and insensitive. However, did you know that there is one Person who wants to be stared at…who compels us to stare at Him and to not break the stare? His name is Jesus, and we stare at Him for very good reasons.

Hebrews 12:1-3

1 Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 FIXING OUR EYES ON JESUS, the Author and Perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

“Fix your eyes on Jesus; it’s ok to stare.” ~ Bob Goff

The Lord bless you and keep you…
